Hmmm Rovertech!! 2 x jobs 2 x dissappointments will never use them again
Lifestyle four wheel drive in Morley are about the best I've come across unfortunately they have now developed the reputation as such and getting into see them can be a hassle as they are so busy. The head mechanic there was the original landrover training instructor on D3's in the UK before he came to Australia. I have also heard good things about Franzone but not used them myself.
Norm, apologies mate it was me that recommended discovery auto and I have never had any major issues with there work but yes Julien is certainly a smartass except early in the morning when he's usually a grumpyass

No sweat mate, you just said give them a try...!

I only had them do a service but it was a bit pricey and then they gave me the dodgy advice.

It really annoys me there is no alternative to Southern south of the river but thats life.

Like I said, I have a local mechanic I trust to do the normal mechanic type stuff and I will give Rovertech a try next time its D3 specific...


Cheers mate,


Norm

I know you are looking for a Perth service agent, but Whyatt's in Geraldton
have been very good to me over the years. they have been looking after my defender since it was new and have always been very thorough, and I always feel confident in my car after its been Serviced by them, The head technician Andrew always goes out his way to make sure its a tidy, professional job. There workshop is always full so you need to book a 1-2 weeks in advance.

Hey Norm, Given the tide of support for rovertech then I may have to consider giving them another go myself, maybe I was just unlucky on the 2 occasions I dealt with them, especially given that I'm confident that Richardk is also a man who expects high standards when it comes to his vehicle maintainence and he seems more than happy with them.
I hope all is well with the family Norm.
regards
Brian

As much as I do not like putting money into the owners pocket (bad purchasing new car experience), I travel 4,500km round trip to get mine serviced at Southern and appreciate the car to use and have never had a problem but I only talk to the South African Service Manager whos name has escaped me at this time. Returning next week. Our local s*#t service agent here in Broome needs a walk in the bush with me. Arrogant, poor quality tradesman. I dont mind the drive to get it done in Perth.

Franzone have done the last 2 services on my D3 TDV6 and been really good - knowledgable, friendly, helpful and not as $$ as the dealer. Would recommend them any day.

Just had car serviced again here, forget my recommendation. the good service manager has left. Fed some big BS last service.
Seem to go through a lot of staff at Southern. Went through 3 during purchase period as they kept leaving. They do have loan cars though and wash the car.
I will be giving Geraldton a try, can go and catch a Whiting if the winds ever die down !. Friendly town people too.
